The Wife He Forgot To Love: Ex-husband Wants a Second Chance

The Wife He Forgot To Love: Ex-husband Wants a Second Chance

For seven years, Camille Stone loved her husband quietly. She loved him through the late nights, the forgotten anniversaries, the empty side of the bed, and the growing silence that slowly swallowed their marriage whole. To the world, billionaire CEO Ethan Stone adored his wife. They were Manhattan’s golden couple — elegant, powerful, untouchable. But behind closed doors, Camille became invisible. So when rumors begin spreading about Ethan and his stunning executive consultant, Vivian Laurent, Camille tells herself not to believe them. Until a silly mistake from Ethan exposes everything she thought she knew. Heartbroken after years of emotional neglect, Camille does the one thing Ethan never sees coming — she files for divorce and quietly slips the papers into his business contracts. Distracted and emotionally distant, Ethan signs them without ever realizing he’s agreeing to end his marriage. But the night Camille finally tells him they’re getting divorced, something shifts. For the first time in years, Ethan notices. Now the billionaire who took his wife for granted is forced to watch her walk away while dangerous secrets, hidden betrayals, and devastating truths begin unraveling around them. And when Ethan finally confesses that not everything Camille believed was a lie, it’s already too late. Or maybe… Just late enough to destroy them both.

The next morning, Ethan kissed my forehead before leaving for work.And if I was being honest, it almost broke me more than the anniversary did.I stood frozen in the kitchen while he grabbed coffee with one hand and checked emails with the other.“You’re staring,” he murmured without looking up.I blinked quickly. “Sorry.”One corner of his mouth twitched, but then his phone buzzed and it was like it never happened. “I’ll be late tonight.”Of course you will. The response sat bitterly on my tongue, but I swallowed it down.“Okay.”Ethan finally looked at me properly then, like he expected more.Maybe a complaint or an argument, but I was too tired for either.His brows pulled together slightly.“You okay?”There it was again.That question he only asked when I became quiet enough to worry him.Not when I cried.Not when I tried talking.Only when I stopped.“I’m fine.”Ethan studied me for another second before nodding slowly.Then he walked over, pressed another quick kiss to my f

I met the divorce attorney on Thursday afternoon.I almost turned around three separate times before entering the building.The first time was when the elevator doors opened and I realized how insane this was.The second was when the receptionist smiled at me and said, “Mrs. Stone, right this way,” like women asking how to leave their husbands was an everyday thing.And the third was when I sat across from a woman named Dana Ellis and heard the word divorce spoken out loud for the first time.Because suddenly it became real.Not just hurt feelings.Not loneliness.Not another rough patch I could keep pretending would eventually fix itself.Real.“You don’t look certain,” Dana said gently after explaining the preliminary filing process.I stared down at my untouched coffee.“I love my husband.”The confession came out embarrassingly fast.Dana nodded like she’d heard that a thousand times before.“You can love someone and still recognize that they’re hurting you.”My throat tightened p

The next morning, Ethan was gone before I woke up.I knew because his side of the bed was cold.Not warm-cold, like he’d just stepped out for coffee or a shower.Completely cold.Like he’d been gone for hours.I lay there staring at the ceiling for a while before finally sitting up. The bedroom curtains were still half open from the night before, sunlight pouring across the sheets in long golden streaks.The room was beautiful.Everything in Ethan’s world was beautiful.The penthouse, the furniture, the expensive silk sheets. And especially the view. Sometimes I thought Ethan built gorgeous things so people wouldn’t notice how empty they felt inside. Like how we looked like the perfect couple to the world but our marriage was rotting away on the inside. I pushed that thought away immediately.That wasn’t fair. Or maybe it was.I didn’t know anymore.My phone buzzed on the nightstand.For one embarrassing second, my heart jumped, but then I saw Mia, my best friend's name.If you as

Camille By seven o’clock, I’d checked my phone fourteen times.Not because Ethan usually texted me.He didn’t... Not anymore, anyway.But today was different. Today was supposed to be different.Seven years of marriage had to mean something.I stood in the kitchen staring at the pan in front of me while Mrs. Lewis quietly arranged plates behind me. The smell of garlic butter and rosemary filled the air, mixing with the faint scent of the white roses I’d spent way too much money on that afternoon.The apartment looked beautiful with warm lighting, candles, soft jazz drifting through the speakers, and the entire dining table decorated like something out of those luxury couple pages on Instagram.It looked like love lived here.Which was funny, considering I hadn’t really felt loved in this apartment for a long time.“You should sit down for a bit, ma’am,” Mrs. Lewis said gently.I glanced toward the clock on the oven.7:06 PM.“He said he’d be home by seven.”She gave me the kind of lo

DON'T BEG ME NOW, MR. ARMSTRONG

DON'T BEG ME NOW, MR. ARMSTRONG

Five years ago, on her birthday, Joan Lancaster was served with divorce papers by the one man whom she had loved with every fiber of her being. The same man who had sworn to protect her, cherish her, and never betray her, Dean Armstrong. He cast her aside without remorse, replacing her with his secretary and stripping her of everything but her dignity. Broken, wounded, and abandoned, Joan disappeared into the night with secrets only she knew, only to return five years later as a different woman. No longer the trembling, forgiving wife Dean once knew, Joan stepped back into his world as the untouchable Ice Queen, a woman whose rise to power had struck fear in the hearts of the Chicago businessmen. But she wasn't just back, she was back for revenge. And she wasn't going to stop until she stripped her ex-husband of everything that made his name. Once a powerful man, Dean found himself begging the woman he once discarded. The woman who now had the strings to his life and could do with him as she pleased. In a world where love had once broken her, Joan would prove one thing: some women don’t come back to be loved. They come back to be feared.

The drive to Brandon’s house felt strangely peaceful.After Victor’s confession, none of us had really known what to say.Well, none of us except Kai.Kai had spent the next twenty minutes asking increasingly complicated questions that Victor had very clearly not wanted to answer.By the time we finally left, Victor looked like he regretted every life decision that had led him to that moment.Not that I felt particularly sorry for him.He had apparently been hiding enormous secrets from all of us.The fact that he now had to deal with an inquisitive almost five-year-old felt like a fitting punishment.“You’re smiling again.”Brandon’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.I looked over from the passenger seat.“What?”“Nothing.”The smile on his face said otherwise.“You’ve been smiling for the last ten minutes.”Heat immediately crept into my cheeks.“Maybe I’m happy.”His expression softened.“I know.”The simple answer made my heart flutter.God.I really was acting like a teenager.An

For several seconds after Victor’s confession, nobody spoke.The noise of the restaurant continued around us, but it felt distant somehow.Muted.Unimportant.Because all I could focus on were the words that had just come out of Victor’s mouth.I never had leukemia.I stared at him.Then blinked.Then stared some more.Across from me, Brandon looked equally stunned.Even Kai seemed to understand that something significant had happened.“What does that mean?” he asked.Victor sighed heavily.The sound carried the exhaustion of a man who knew he was about to have a very unpleasant conversation.“It means I wasn’t sick.”Kai frowned.“You lied?”The question was so direct that Brandon immediately covered his mouth to hide a laugh.Victor looked personally attacked.“Children are terrifying.”“That’s not an answer,” Kai informed him.I couldn’t help it.I laughed.After everything that had happened over the past few months, after all the tears and court battles and sleepless nights, the a

The walk back to the restaurant felt surreal.I couldn’t stop smiling.Every few seconds, I would remember what had just happened, and my stomach would immediately fill with butterflies all over again.It was ridiculous.Absolutely ridiculous.I was a grown woman.A mother.The CEO of a company.A woman who had survived a brutal divorce, a custody battle, and enough legal drama to fill several lifetimes.And yet somehow, walking beside Brandon with our hands intertwined made me feel exactly like a nervous teenager experiencing her first crush.The worst part was that I loved it.I loved every second of it.The feeling was so unfamiliar that it almost scared me.Dean and I had shared passion.At least I used to think we had.But this?This fluttering anticipation every time Brandon glanced at me?The warmth spreading through my chest whenever he smiled?The constant urge to grin like an idiot?I had never experienced any of that with Dean.Not once.The realization should have saddened

JoanAfter everything that had happened inside the courtroom, after weeks of fighting and crying and wondering whether I would ever get my son back, the evening felt almost unreal.I kept waiting for something to go wrong.For someone to call and tell me there had been a mistake.For another letter to arrive.For another battle to begin.But nothing happened.For once, the universe left me alone.Kai was sitting on Victor’s shoulders by the time we reached the park, happily chattering about something that had happened in one of his cartoons. Victor, to his credit, was listening as seriously as if Kai were presenting a business proposal worth millions.The sight made me smile.It wasn’t the strained smile I’d been wearing for weeks.It wasn’t the brave smile I’d forced myself to give Kai whenever I was hurting.It was real.Warm.Effortless.Victor must have noticed because he looked over at me.“You should go.”I blinked.“Go where?”He glanced toward Brandon.Then back at me.His exp

BrandonI didn’t realize how tightly I had been gripping the armrest until the judge finished speaking.The second the ruling was delivered, the tension that had been sitting in my chest for weeks finally loosened.Not completely.Just enough for me to breathe.Across the courtroom, Dean Armstrong looked like a man watching his entire world collapse around him.I should have felt satisfaction.After everything he’d put Joan through, after everything he’d done to Kai, after all the lies and manipulation, I should have enjoyed watching him lose.Instead, I found myself looking somewhere else entirely.At Joan.She hadn’t moved.She was still sitting in her chair, her eyes fixed ahead as though she hadn’t fully processed what had just happened.For a second, I wondered if she had heard the ruling at all.Then I saw her shoulders tremble.Just slightly.And I understood.The fight was finally over.At least this one.The judge was still speaking when Kai jumped out of his seat.The court

I Fell In Love With A Ghost

I Fell In Love With A Ghost

"This realm is your only chance of coming back to life in the mortal world, and if you attract those consequences, take note that you will die.” “Death?” I ask, mostly to myself. And to the voice, “What do you mean by 'I’m on my way to death'?” ~~~ Nova was having a bad day, and all she wanted was for the day to end already. But the universe seemed to have misunderstood her wish, because not only did her day not end, but she met with an accident that left her in a coma. As if that wasn't bad enough, she became trapped in a dimension between life and death, where she had to face a series of trials that would determine if she wakes... or fades from existence. Enter Zephyr, the spirit assigned to guide her to the light – her recovery. The spirit who never tried to disguise his want for her failure. The spirit she should've never fallen in love with. But in a world where survival is determined by the number of challenges a soul can conquer, the heart still found its way around love. With her complicated feelings in an already complicated world, Nova must decide what she's truly fighting for – her life, or the one being who's capable of ending it. *** In a short time, the remaining one hundred and twelve souls are pushed out. When we’re complete and standing, a voice – different from on the bus – greets us. “Welcome, Souls, to the survival games.”

Chapter: 012: Nightmare
"Get what done with?" He sighs tiredly. "Your test... Your death. Whatever you want it to be. Your choice." He brushes by me, and I instinctively step away. But not without noticing his scent. The perfume Chris wore all the time. It makes me yearn for him even more. "You coming?" he calls, and I realize he's already by the mirror, a hand stretched toward me. I hesitate, watching his hand warily. "Jesus, Nov," he hisses. "Stop acting like I'm gonna kill you."It's not my fault I'm hesitant. He is going to kill me if he gets the chance. He's literally designed to do so. But remembering what Zephyr said about wasting time, I take his hand. He smirks, and then he drags me through the mirror. I scream, the cuts inflicted by Allison earlier feeling like my skin is being pulled from my body as we pass through portals of light. When we stop traveling and everything settles, I discover that we're back at Chris's house."You want to know why your self-motivation is important? You're g

Laughter resounds in the space, from all the mirrors. Something stabs my right arm, sending pain shooting through the area. "Please," I beg. Again, I'm met with laughter. "I told you," The reflection behind me grips my hair tightly, pulling my head back. "You shouldn't have touched the water."When her grip loosens, I feel my hair out of its bun. Before I can touch it, something drops on my lap. I look down. A bundle of my hair. "I gave you a haircut," the Allison in front of me says. "You needed it."I blindly feel the back of my head, wincing through the pain from lifting my arm. My hair... Half the length is gone. Allison's image in the mirror in front of me fades, leaving behind my broken, bloodied reflection. I look like I've been through hell. I feel like I've been through hell. Her voice sounds from behind me. "You should be grateful. Your hair looked terrible before." She giggles. "I helped you fix it, and you should thank me."I remain quiet, glaring. I hate her,

Chapter: 010: The lake of mirrors
Instinctively, I reach out to touch her, but my hand makes contact with the cold glass instead. Her image fades. Her giggles come from somewhere else in the room – probably another mirror – but I don’t bother following it this time. I remember what my spirit guide had said earlier about my feelings, and I quickly wipe my eyes, calling out for him. “Zephyr? Are you here?”“What do you think?” His voice drips with boredom as he appears in the mirror I'm facing. “Where am I?”“The lake of mirrors,” he answers. “A part of the illusion realm. Just like before, you have to confront the important people and events in your life. In this realm, you will fight memories. Not all are real, but they appear real. Your task is to figure out what isn't.”“How do I know the ones that aren’t real?” Expecting the usual, “…Figure it out” answer, I’m surprised when he says, “Your gut. It’s the only thing that you should trust.”“But what if my gut is wrong?”A beat passes in silence. Then, “This is t

"No!" I cry. Yanking my hand from his grip, I try to run back, through the barrier of light. But once again, he stops me. "Why won't you just let me say goodbye?!" He takes his time answering. "I can take you back if you wish," he says evenly. "Then you will remain in a world designed to use your desires to destroy you." I swipe at my eyes angrily. "You're heartless." "Yes. Unlike you souls, I do not have a heart." His tone doesn't waver. "I don't act stupidly based on feelings. I am not naive. I think before I act. I do not let feelings guide decisions that determine fate.” His face stays neutral, but there's something else in his eyes – anger, maybe, or restraint. “Everything I do is planned, structured. That's why I'm superior to you. That's why, when I make a decision that could save your life – even if your feelings get in the way – I do it." I scoff but say nothing. Instead, I sink to the floor – or whatever passes for a floor here – and rest my chin on my knees. The next fe

Before I can stop myself, I scream. He laughs menacingly, stepping inside. “You want to leave us? After bringing us here?”I take a step back. “You’re not even real,” my voice trembles, my vision blurred with tears.He takes one further. “I’m right here, princess. If I wasn’t, would you be able to feel this-”His fingers lengthen, taking a claw-like shape as he tries to grab me. I move back, frantic, looking for a way of escape. But the walls only seem to be closing in around me. Right when he's about to get to me, the walls close in on us.For a moment, there’s only darkness.The air thickens, and each breath comes harder than the last. I press a hand to my chest, fighting for what little air I can draw in.Then, suddenly, everything snaps back to normal.I gasp, filling my lungs as much as I can. When my breathing steadies, I look around.I’m in the kitchen again. Everything looks the same, yet somehow the place feels different, more… alive.Before I can figure out what’s changed

I drop my fork, gasping. “Are you sure you're–”“I said I’m fine!” I snap. Tears of frustration gather in my eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m just... I’m sorry.”To prove it, I pick the fork back up and force a bite of pancake into my mouth.My senses prick as the food settles in my mouth. It’s bland and dry… crusty, even.I try not to wince as I chew. Apparently, I don’t hide it well enough, as Dad notices. “Don’t you like the food, princess?”I force myself to swallow. It feels like more of a punishment than relief, something grating against the walls of my throat. It burns, as if I've swallowed tiny pieces of glass. This time, I don’t try to hide the wince. “Water,” I rasp, clutching my throat. “I need water.”Instead of getting it for me, Mom places her hand over mine, squeezing tightly. Her head tilts. “What’s wrong, dear? Don’t you like pancakes anymore?”A chill races down my spine.I try to pull away, but her grip tightens.My gaze flickers to my father. He’s looking at me in the s
